The horrific tale is laid out by an old man who reveals that he only appears old – “You suppose me a very old man,” he says, “but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves.” The narrator, seeing the power of the whirlpool in the ocean visible from the mountain top, is then told of the man’s fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago in which they encountered the whirlpool.

Review ebook A Descent into the Maelstrom – an Edgar Allan Poe Short Story
A Descent into the Maelstrom by Edgar Allan Poe
This is a short story about a man who tells how he survived a shipwreck and a whirlpool. It’s a tale of fear and terror. However, I didn’t enjoy this story. Even, Poe agreed that the ending was not so perfect.
but in the next moment I cursed myself for being so great a fool as to dream of hope at all.
Not so enjoyable. A Descent into the Maelstrom by Edgar Allan Poe
